This place is such a shit-hole. All I wanted was for something fun and exciting to happen to me...

Somewhere in small-town Scotland, an old man nearly chokes to death on a gobstopper, and chaos begins to unfold. Making one bad decision after another and armed with a natural knack for saying the wrong thing at precisely the worst moment, our protagonist learns that in her town, trouble doesn’t just come knocking—it kicks the door down.

With sharp humour and raw honesty, Gobstopper by Leyla Aycan is a punch-in-the-face tale of self-discovery, accountability, and the relentless quest for redemption. This dark comedy reveals how our labels can both shape—and shatter—who we are.
